The bill mandates that candidates for school board trustee in Wyoming must have their political party affiliation printed on general election ballots. This new requirement is established in a newly created section, W.S. 22-6-131, which specifies that the secretary of state is responsible for promulgating any necessary rules to implement this change.

Additionally, the bill amends W.S. 22-6-123 regarding nonpartisan election ballots, allowing for political party designations to be included on ballots, but only as authorized by law. This amendment maintains the requirement for nonpartisan ballots to be printed on yellow paper and to be separate from partisan ballots, while still conforming to the general requirements for official partisan ballots. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
